We’re joined by our good friends RK (known on Twitter as @roh_tweets) and Joanna Beveridge, a writer and producer from Australia who has just produced a k-drama inspired web series called No Ordinary Love (known on Twitter and Instagram as @jmbeveridge). 3:21: We discuss the definition of consent using information from RAINN, an advocacy organization for survivors of sexual violence. Learn more here: https://www.rainn.org/articles/what-is-consent  4:46: We dive into why it’s important for us to discuss how consent is portrayed in dramas. In short: portrayals of consent influence real life. 8:39: But portrayals of non-consent or ambiguous consent can be emotionally gratifying for women and we discuss why that might be. 16:28: A description of the structure of our episode: we start with portrayals of non-consent and then work our way to non-verbal and verbal consent (note: we were pleasantly surprised by how many examples of good consent we were able to find!)
